SOUTH PORTLAND – Leonido R. Begonia, 75, died on Thursday, Jan. 21, 2021 at Maine Medical Center.
Leonido, lovingly known to most as “Lolo”, was born on Jan. 27, 1945, in Alaminos, Philippines, the son of the late Alejandro and Brigida(Rabot) Begonia.
Leonido was an only child, but grew up with many cousins that were like brothers and sisters to him. He grew up in the Alaminos area where he attended local schools and eventually graduated from De La Salle Araneta University with a degree in agriculture. After graduating he enlisted in the United States Coast Guard in 1966 where he honorably served in the Vietnam War before being stationed in the United States.
Daniel J. Gildea describes himself as an amateur diver and historian. But local experts like Dennis R. McCarthy have taken that interest to a new level.
